January 22, 2015
When it comes time to purchase your next new mower, there are a lot of factors to consider, but making a good decision can go a long way toward making lawn care easier and less time intensive. Here’s a short guide to help you pick the right Exmark mower for your needs.
Budget
The first thing you need to consider when purchasing a new Exmark mower is budget. If you’re looking at Exmark mowers, you probably already understand you need the most durable, dependable mower you can afford. Exmark builds mowers with a wide range of price and performance levels, and budget is an important consideration when determining which model is right for you. Exmark also offers a number of financing options that can make getting the Exmark mower you need. Learn more about current special offers at Exmark.com.
What will you be mowing?
Once you’ve established your budget guidelines, it’s time to consider what it is you’ll be using the mower for. A walk-behind mower such as our Commercial 21 or Commercial 30 models are ideal for homeowners mowing properties of 1/2-acre or less. If gate access to a property isn’t an issue, some landscape professionals may opt for a larger walk-behind or stand-on machine for sub-1/2-acre properties.
For larger properties, most landscape professionals choose a stand-on mower such as our Vantage S-Series, or a zero-turn riding mower like our Lazer Z X-Series or Navigator models. The zero-turn rider has also achieved widespread adoption among home and acreage owners looking to ease the burden of lawn care and get more of their free time back. Popular models among home and acreage owners include the Quest S-Series Front Steer, Pioneer S-Series, and Lazer Z E-Series machines.
